Hello Hoover Rockets,

Family Fitness Night
We are focusing on Healthy Hearts this month.  Hoover Families exercised on Tuesday to keep their hearts healthy.  We did a warm up all together in the Multi-Purpose Room and then participated in station events throughout the building.










Valentines Day
Our students enjoyed Valentines Day Parties this week.  Thank you to all the parents that came in and helped with the parties.






100s Day
Our Kindergarten and First Grade Classrooms celebrated the One Hundredth Day of School on Thursday.   They made hats, collected 100 items and enjoyed snacks!




Did you know that our first grade teachers have over 65 years of experience combined?  They collaborate together to provide a stimulating, engaging, rigorous first grade classroom experience.  First graders do Chromebook Wednesdays, Frog Reports, How To books and a trip to the Hands On Museum.
First Grade Teachers and Mrs. Bice
